New Flash: International Community Adopts Rube Goldberg Device

Simon Wiesenthal Center Dean Rabbi Marvin Hier in a recent op ed in the “Jerusalem Post” compared the international community’s response to Hamas’ terror campaign to the clueless leaders of the legendary Jewish community of Chelm, built in a mountaintop, who—when their people began to fall off the mountain—responded by building a hospital at the mountain’s base.

Actually, Rube Goldberg—the Einstein of Chelm—has designed an even more brilliant response for the international community. They have decided to punish Hamas for Vladimir Putin’s possible shoot-down of a Malaysian airliner over Ukraine by banning all flights to Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport.
